Fashion Retailer iOS App + Backend

Fashion Retailer iOS App + Backend

Stared this project from using the same code base developed for ASOS China in Spring 2016 for a London based agency on behalf of their client Oasis Stores, a ladies fashion wear, which also had physical stores in the UK. This project was designed to utilise existing development for a fast turn around, but had new functionality such as in-store stock, reserve online, and collect in store. This Cordova powered runs iOS devices.This project was more of an exercise in re-usability of a codebase than developing new tech. While there were some new features, this is essentially a rebranding of an existing app, and repurposing while retaining existing features. The backend for this was a NodeJS HAPI API which worked as an interim layer between the customers iPhone and the stores backend, which in this case, was Demandware. Read more...

Made Showroom

Really plush retail store for the online furniture company. They have a vast selection of posh looking designer homeware, but at very reasonable prices. I can't attest to the long term quality of the stuff, but it certainly looks very high end. It's a modern shop with loads of funky stuff to photo, they use these Android tablets that use NFC price tags. You just tap the tablet against a product you like, and all its configuration info and pricing information shows up - the future! Worth coming in for a wander around. Read more...

ASOS中国 - Hybrid iOS and Android eCommerce App

ASOS中国 - Hybrid iOS and Android eCommerce App

Stared this project from scratch in Spring 2015 for a London based agency on behalf of their client ASOS China. Following a similar design to the UK iOS app, this Cordova powered runs on both Android and iOS devices, in both orientations, on both mobile and tablet.Making pure JavaScript single page applications is one thing, with it's own set of complexities and challenges; but doing the equivalent for a JavaScript app that will function only in a mobile environment brings with it an entire new set of challenges. These are specifically related to the user interface. The app still has to retain the gesture recognition and actions found in native applications, and perform will full buttery smooth animations expected from real applications. Read more...
